I don’t think that you understood my reference to being anal about time…what I was suggesting is that if she gets the idea that you are spending that hour with her to fulfil an obligation then she will say that there is no apna-pan. Anyway…let’s move on.

How about doing things with her rather than sitting to chat with her? Does she do anything that you could learn from her? Perhaps ask her to show you how to cook something? Maybe if she knits or crochets you could ask her to show you? Does she sew, embroider or something? Or you could pull up an article or surah or something to study with her? Maybe even find some gossip about the stars in the dramas that you watch?
Just try to avoid the opportunity to discuss people you know…

I like these ideas - they keep you away from issues that could cause problems!
